#turns out there actually WERE pipebombs

[creppersfunpalooza]

here’s some of the funniest occurrences/plots w rps i’ve done except they just get worse

- local fae prince is out on a morally questionable quest to get a love potion from a less than trustworthy source. random person gets dragged along for emotional support.

- there’s just a frat/sorority house for vampires who were turned as teens/young adults where they just hang out and smoke weed. most of them r pretty cool. they probably hunt and feed together too.

- a known and wanted terrorist who goes by the name Kurt Pantaloons opens a pancake diner and he is secretly planting bombs in the pancakes that attach to the inside of the stomach and can only be detonated by remote. employees are only hired if they have never eaten there and aren’t allowed to touch the food. also there’s a lady named Razzlepossum who’s a keyboardist in a band. Also there’s gang violence entirely unrelated to the whole terrorism thing.

- an all powerful robot god thing develops a small crush on a joke character literally called Serial Killer. Yeah.

i think those are the silliest but i’m probably forgetting some

rating: M pairing: seungkwan x gn!reader wc: 0.4k summary: florist seungkwan receives a bouquet from his rival — emotions are had warnings: slightly nsfw discussion, language tags: rival florists, the is the start of an enemies to lovers fic (that i will probably never write), soonyoung says some Wild Shit, reader is actually only mentioned in this sorry a/n: i know nothing about flowers or their meanings i just used google and then made shit up lol (also this was originally a vmin drabble i posted on twt two years ago)

Seungkwan looked down at the bouquet of flowers — beautifully arranged and wrapped in old newspaper and tied with a dainty blue ribbon — gobsmacked.

It was addressed to him of all people.

No one ever sent Seungkwan flowers. Because who would send flowers to a florist? Especially from his rival's shop?

And speak of the devil, the little card carefully attached to the ribbon simply read from y/n <3 in a distressingly elegant calligraphy.

He looked at the artfully arranged flowers more closely. There was an obvious yellow color scheme — hyacinth (jealousy - sport, game, play) and tansy (hostile thoughts, declaring war) and tarragon (lasting interest) arranged neatly around a single tall sunflower (haughtiness) — but a few white roses (I'm worthy of you) were included to help balance it out. It really was beautiful, and some unknown feeling did a little somersault in his chest.

And then the meanings sunk in.

You had just sent him a flower arrangement that essentially said "wow, you're so jealous, fucking fight me" but in the most annoyingly flirtatious way possible. It made Seungkwan want to commit arson.

"That absolute motherfucker."

"Okay, Kwan-ah, I'm confused," Soonyoung piped up from where he was re-poting some ferns in the corner. "Do you want to kill whoever sent those, or fuck them?"

Seungkwan choked on his spit.

Soonyoung blazed on, "Because the words you just said were mean but you look so grossly in love that I'm concerned hearts and rainbows are going to start shooting out of your pores like some kind of homoerotic pipebomb."

Or maybe murder was on the table after all.

"Kwon Soonyoung you are henceforth forbidden from ever opening your mouth inside my shop ever again." He threw one of the many flower-themed stress balls he kept lying around for this exact reason at Soonyoung's head, taking pleasure at the pained yelp Soonyoung let out as he failed to dodge out of the way and sprawled gracelessly across the floor.

Satisfied, he turned his attention back to the bouquet. "And to answer your question..."

The flowers stared up from where he was still clutching them with both hands, judging him. Waiting.

Seungkwan sighed.

"Both. Definitely both."

Hey there, relatively new to your blog, and I’m hoping you’ll point me in the right direction. I’ve realized slowly over the last several years that im really into wrestling, and like so many others, MJF has captured my attention; even when I wasn’t much of a wrestling fan, I was aware of CM Punk and thought he was cool. So naturally when their feud happened, I also thought that was pretty cool. But, I never cared enough (apparently) to figure out how to actually catch a match. So here I am musing about their feud kind of wondering how it all turned out. I watched a wonderful video on YouTube that sort of cut together all the highlights of the saga, up to a match where Punk pinned Max… it was like maybe the third match between them that was shown in the video. Anyway, I’d really love to know how all that’s goin, and I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind aiding my research with any articles/videos or insights! Thanks for reading my ask!

That was their second match. The first one was at Dynamite February 2nd, 2022, that was won by MJF (he cheated with the help of Wardlow), then they faced each other at Revolution 2022 in the dog collar match, where Punk won (with the help of Wardlow who turned on Maxwell). After that MJF cut a promo where he said that wasn’t over until he pisses on Punk’s grave. Both of them moved on to other feuds. When MJF cut the famous nuke promo, Punk actually went out there to talk to him but Max left the ring. Funny thing is that the entire promo had so many references to the Punk’s pipebomb.

MJF was absent from AEW for a while and he returned at All Out 2022, after “winning” the opportunity to face the World Champion. Punk was celebrating his win in the ring when Max showed up. They didn’t say anything but had a small stare down where we knew they were going to face each other.

Nonetheless… that night… the infamous All Out Media Scrum and then the brawl and, unfortunately, CM Punk was suspended and hasn’t been on AEW tv since that night. They had to change the plans so MJF faced Moxley for the AEW World Championship and won it from him. After that, Max has actually made some references to Punk like this and this, but that’s all. There are rumors of Punk returning soon so… we’ll see what happens. I actually have a tag dedicated to analyzing this feud, you can check it out if you like: here.

I love the way you think. They may have turned you into a Babyface but I'm glad to see that your villanous vein is still there. I might have to consult you in the future, when I have to do stuff like that: since you can't do bad guys stuff, might as well have some fun helping me with it, right? I know the feeling, especially because, nowadays, it's so hard to be a villain and actually be hated (it's not my case, not anymore at least). Not just in wrestling, but also in movies, animes, almost every show. Guess good guys are out of fashion and I totally understand why, they get stale at some point. I'm glad to see you have a good opinion of me and what I did, the feeling is mutual. Those iconics moment... I'll forever carry them in my heart, also today is the Pipebomb anniversary. 12 years ago, I can't believe how many things have changed and how many things stayed the same. Yeah, people can be pretty wild 😂 like, me and Jay were staring at each other at some point, and everyone was like THEY'RE FLIRTING or shit like that. And don't even get me started on the CMJF stuff. I mean I know I didn't help with the whole Dog Collar match because it's easy to consider it kinky, but still, they have a wild imagination. Nah, consider that I always rewatch my matches to figure out what I did good and what I did wrong. Those two? I'll never rewatch them. You just needed one good chance to prove your talent and you nailed it. Rey is one of those people you just can't help but love. He's something else, really, I'm glad I can call him a friend. I think the Puerto Rico thing was deserved and I totally agree with you: in general, that night was one of those night that make you scream I love this business, both as a fan and as a performer. And the fans were so passionate, my god, probably because we don't get to have shows outside of USA very often (and I'm happy to see that this is slowly changing). Really, the atmosphere made me wish I was there with you guys that night. No problem. I don't mean to bring bad luck, but I think you're gonna do good in general, regardless of if you win the briefcase or not.

14 minutes of pure adrenaline. I missed this. But whoever started the Pepsi Sucks chants, I'm coming for you.

"What kind of fuse is that?" "Cannon fuse." "What the hell you use it for?" "My cannon."

I liked the part with the stewed tomatoes.

Done in the style of an old B Movie creature feature, Tremors turned a ridiculous concept into a hell of a lot of fun. The characters were interesting and actually made wise decisions, which was refreshing. There were some really great practical effects, and the monsters were revealed with solid pacing, escalating the tension at a nice, steady rate.

The monsters looked pretty good, and the idea of a subterranean hunter with abundant patience to wait you out made such an interesting antagonist. There were some really neat practical effects like floorboards warping, the truck being pulled down with its headlights pointed up, and the row of fence posts being sucked below the dirt one after another. 

I loved that the preppers had a gigantic wall of loaded guns, and all the materials at hand to make a bag full of pipebombs. The scene where they shot the hell out of one of the monsters in their basement was excellent. That hammer work at the beginning by Kevin Bacon was truly horrible...

A fun movie with a lot of charm. Great stuff.

[bisexualshrug]

Uh has anyone given you the OTP numbers either SUPERIOR SHIP Paige & AJ? Cause if not I’m giving it to you. 11. 14. & 17. The ultimate lesbians.

11. Do they get married? Who proposes and how?

Okay so Paige and AJ are JUST friends. I mean, technically, they are BARELY even friends. So they are absolutely NOT in love. That’s ridiculous. Actually, Paige just finds AJ really annoying, but AJ like...won’t leave her alone. So, they hang out or whatever. But not because Paige WANTS to. It’s like...forced on her, alright? Back off. 

So, anyways they’ve been kinda friends (NOT in love though) for years. And all of the sudden AJ is pestering her every day about how AJ is lonely and sad when she goes back home. And they should just move into together. Because Paige flies home with AJ more than she goes to her own home (Paige would argue this was not true...she could be wrong). And they are best friends so they would be great roommates. So, after weeks of constant badgering, Paige is like ugh okay fine whatever. Let’s live together. And AJ is happy and excited and kisses Paige on the cheek which is gross and DOESN’T feel nice.

And then AJ is like ok! Let’s pack your stuff and move into my place in Colorado. And Paige is like...don’t you live in New Jersey?? And AJ is like nope ! Moved to Colorado a month ago. Which is exactly when AJ started pestering Paige about moving into together. Which is weird. And makes Paige a little paranoid but whatever fine. Paige doesn’t really care where they live because they’ll be on the road most of the time anyway.

So they move in together in Colorado. And it’s kind of weird. I mean, Paige and AJ aren’t there often. But whenever they are, all the couples in the apartment complex wanna go out with them? And it’s very double date like but AJ assures Paige that everyone knows it’s not. But AJ always grabs Paige’s hand on the not double dates and clings to her and kisses her cheek again. Which is all gross and weird...but Paige just doesn’t push her off because hurting AJ is basically just kicking a puppy. And Paige doesn’t wanna look at her dumb completely NOT cute pouty face.

But everyone in the entire complex is ALSO really weird. They stop her in the hallways and are like “How are you and AJ doing? Still happy? Going strong?” And like...why are these people so intense about roommates?? Paige just lives with AJ. And travels with her. And works with her. And spends almost all of her time with her. But none of that involves sex so they clearly are not dating. And sex with AJ? Ew no no no. Paige is NOT attracted to her. She’s especially not attracted to AJ when she climbs into Paige’s bed at night in extremely tiny shorts and insists they need to cuddle and- whatever okay she doesn’t need to justify herself to you

But then she’s walking back to their apartment with food from AJ’s favorite takeout place one day and their neighbor stops Paige and tries to have a conversation with her. Which is mostly just annoying bc Paige is hungry and also AJ is waiting for her and this is supposed to be their last night at home before going back on the road. But anyways Paige is half listening to this lady when she suddenly asks “How is your wife doing?” And Paige is like great this woman doesn’t even know who she is. So Paige is like “Oh, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I’m Paige. I live in this apartment right here.” And the woman laughs “Oh yes. With your wife! Short one, quirky but very sweet.” Paige freezes and is like “excuse me a moment.”

And then rushes inside her apartment. AJ sees her and grabs the food and kisses her on the cheek. And Paige just stares at her in disbelief. And finally forces out “Why did our neighbor think we’re married?” And instantly AJ drops the food on the counter and freezes. Paige can already feel a migraine coming on. AJ slowly turns around and laughs “About that” and then makes a run for the door. But Paige grabs her by the waist before she can escape and wrestles her down to the couch.

And what follows is the most insane story Paige has ever heard in her entire life. AJ was...trying to common law marry Paige....behind her back. Without telling her!!! Without dating her!! AJ has been trying to MARRY her for MONTHS. She told Paige that she did research and in Colorado the requirements for common law marriage are cohabitation (check), a reputation of being married (check...thanks to AJ telling everyone in their apartment complex of their common law marriage), conduct which demonstrates intent (okay how the HELL did AJ file their taxes as joint MARRIED and Paige DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT), and the final one being consent. AJ said she had everything but the last one, which she was working on.

Paige sits on the couch in disbelief, frozen still for an entire 15 minutes. No movement. No speaking. Just staring at the wall. AJ is... she’s CRAZY. She’s INSANE. What the HELL is wrong with her??? Paige is just going to stand up, pack her things, and move the hell out of this apartment. Get the hell out of here while she still can...Wait why isn’t she standing?? GET UP. LEAVE. GET OUT OF HERE. FREE YOURSELF WOMAN.

But the only thing Paige can do is turn and look at AJ. Who is staring at her worriedly with tears in her eyes. Nervously playing with her hair, but eyes never wavering from Paige’s. 

Oh God. Why. Why Why Why

Paige kisses her.

14. Are there any love rivals?

Paige hates CM Punk with a burning fiery passion. Because AJ has this almost hero worship, mentor relationship with him going on. “Oh Punk is so funny. He’s so smart. Did you watch his match last night? Pipebomb pipebomb pipebomb.” If Paige hears “Punkie” one more time she’s gonna punch a hole through a wall.

AJ does not do all of this on purpose because Paige is hot when she’s jealous. And Punk is definitely not in on it (he is. They’re both evil shits).

17. Describe or write a really fluffy scene.

I’m going to save writing an entire Paige/AJ scene later. Although that day might very well come. But not today. Because my marriage description answer was already too god damn long sdlsd

Here’s a description of After Paige Finds Out about the common law marriage. After Paige composes herself, she gives AJ a long, emphatic lecture about how it’s wrong to marry people without their permission and shouldn’t you already be aware of this?? And AJ very seriously listens to her the entire time, looking like she’s absorbing information she’s never heard of before in her entire life. And at the end AJ is just like “Gotcha. No more marrying you behind your back. Makes sense.” And Paige is like how the hell do I wanna kiss this girl right now and not get a restraining order??

But she DOES just want to kiss AJ. And sitting here thinking about it? Okay she also probably wants to hold AJ’s hand more and go on (real) dates and buy AJ chocolate on Valentine’s Day and not ever move out. All the gross disgusting couple stuff. Oh and sex. Yeah absolutely she wants sex. 100%. 

So after finishing her lecture she asks AJ out on their first official date. And AJ squeals loudly and literally leaps in Paige’s arms, legs wrapped tightly around her waist. And Paige closes her eyes and tries to clear every single dirty thought out of her mind. Because they haven’t even been on a date yet, and Paige knows how to treat a woman.

So Paige plans out the date and they get ready in their separate rooms. And Paige snuck out earlier that day and bought AJ this comic series she knows AJ has been wanting for weeks. So she knocks on AJ’s room door and hands AJ the comics. And AJ geeks out and Paige is barely able to stop her from canceling the date to hide away in her room until she’s read the entire series. Then, AJ kisses her in thanks and Paige can feel herself grinning like an idiot. She schools her features back into place bc she’s not some schoolgirl with a crush here. 

Paige takes AJ to an arcade and AJ is like an excited kid. Literally, she spends part of the night actually playing an actual child at airhockey and losing (on purpose to make the kid smile). And Paige plays games with her too but watches her sometimes. And it’s fun. But God...AJ is so beautiful. The night is perfect. AJ has a blast. And she’s carrying around the biggest armful of tickets in the entire place. She’s passing by kids who are staring at her tickets in literal awe.

Then...before they get to the counter. A fan comes up. She’s a little girl. Maybe around 7. And her Mom says she’s AJ’s biggest fan. And AJ grins so wide and shoves all her tickets into Paige’s arms. She scoops the girl up into a hug and excitedly starts talking to her. Even though they were about to leave, AJ plays a few games with the girl and then takes a picture with her. Gives her one last hug. Then walks over to Paige. She takes her tickets back. But then she walks back over to the girl and gives the girl all of her tickets.

The Mom is beyond thankful and the little girl looks at AJ like she’s her superhero. And then AJ walks with her to the counter. The little girl happily gets one of the biggest prizes on the shelf and thanks AJ with the tiniest, cutest voice Paige thinks she’s ever heard. The Mom and daughter leave after that and AJ skips back over to Paige happily and kisses her on the cheek. She asks if Paige is still ready to go and Paige just stares at her and nods dumbly.

AJ smiles and grabs her hand, tugging her out of the arcade. On the way back, AJ mentions how cute the girl was but says nothing else about it. Instead she talks happily about how much fun the night was with Paige and how perfect of a first date it was. 

And Paige drives the car trying her best to listen. But the only thing she can think about is how kind AJ was to that little girl. And how she doesn’t think a single other person on the WWE roster (herself included) would have done all that. And AJ did it without a single hesitation. When she didnt have to. God help her.

This woman is absolutely crazy. But...maybe.. it wouldn’t be so bad to be married to her after all..

[duhragonball]

Sorry about all the weird asks you been getting, Here is an actual question: What do you think of Bray Wyatt's current fiend character?

Technically, this should be addressed on the wrestling blog, but I get them mixed up myself all the time, and let’s be real: duhragonball > buttdawg >>> imatlasarrestmeplease.  

In any case, I don’t have strong opinions about The Fiend, because I stopped watching WWE in October 2018, before The Fiend’s debut.   I think I have a general idea of what the character is supposed to be, but it’s probably not fair to judge it on hearsay.    So take this with a few hundred grains of salt.  

From what I understand, Bray Wyatt sort of dropped off the map for a while, then returned at... was it Summerslam ‘19?   I think it was.    He came back as the Fiend, who’s sort of like when Mick Foley switches from Mankind to Cactus Jack, only in this case The Fiend no-sells everything and he’s super strong.    Also, the Bray persona has become like this Mr. Rogers pastiche, and may not fully understand the Fiend’s actions.   

I have no idea how this Firefly Funhouse thing works.  I watched a pirated video of the John Cena “match” at WrestleMania 36, mostly because I wanted to understand what nWo Cena was supposed to be about.    I still have no idea, but I’m a huge nWo mark, so I was satisfied to see John rocking the black-and-white, even if it makes no sense.   

Actually, let me talk about nWo Cena for a minute here, because that’s been on my mind for a while, and I think it does sort of tie into Bray’s WWE career.   Okay, so for anyone who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, Cena and Bray had a match at WrestleMania 36 which was like some sort of Twilight Zone thing where Cena kept quantum leaping into different eras of wrestling history.   He found himself in the Hulkamania era, then he relived his own debut in 2002, and for some reason he was on the set of WCW Monday Nitro, circa 1997.   There, he was wearing an nWo shirt, indicating that he was supposed to be a member of the legendary heel stable, the New World Order.   

What struck my fancy about this was that I saw John wearing the shirt and for a moment I imagined how cool it would have been if Cena really had been part of the nWo.   The group had this amazing start in the summer of 1996, but by 1997 it was running on fumes, and in 1998 they had absolutely no idea what to do with it.    After that, they just kept breaking up and reuniting over and over, trying to recapture the old magic.   There were a lot of problems with the nWo, but I think the biggest one is that there was no clear identity of the group.   Somtimes it was a bunch of cool dudes having a violent party, and other times it was Hulk Hogan’s personal cult.  Other times it was just Hall and Nash wearing matching shirts.    It didn’t matter in the early years, but when the group got older and the older members moved on, there was nothing to define what was left.   

I’ve only been watching New Japan for about a year, but I’m already impressed with how Bullet Club has managed to avoid the same problem.   Let’s face it, they’re a baldface ripoff of the nWo concept, but they have defining characteristics that don’t just rely on a specific person.   Prince Devitt (Finn Balor) was a founding member, but he’s been gone for years.   Then AJ Styles was their #1 guy, and he left.   Then Kenny Omega was their leader, and I showed up a few months after he left.     I thought the BC was doomed to decline after that, but then I saw how dominant their new leader, Jay White could be, and then they replenished their ranks with KENTA.   Generally, Bullet Club is a gaijin stable, so that sets the tone for their act rather than any single person.   If a Canadian leaves, you just get a New Zealander to replace him.   But with the pandemic keeping most of BC out of Japan, they adapted again and brought in EVIL as their new top guy.   It’s impressive to me, because NJPW figured out a way to make the nWo an evergreen angle.   They can sell those T-Shirts for the next fifty years.   

But I still miss the classic nWo, and I liked the idea that in some AU, John Cena might have formed his own nWo revival around 2011 or so, and they could have done it right.    Imagine someone with Cena’s prestige and longevity doing a heel stable like that, and when his time is over, he hands it off to another big star who can carry the torch.  “If only they had John Cena,” I thought to myself.  “He could have righted the ship.   He could have fixed it.”

Which brings me back to Bray Wyatt, because the vibe I get is that Bray’s fans seem more focused on what could be, and what might have been.   Bray’s entire WWE run feels like a running effort to fix Bray’s entire WWE run.   He started as Husky Harris in NXT, then they brought the entire NXT roster out as a new heel stable, the Nexus, and had them run roughshod over WWE, except they were mostly too green for that role, and they kept losing big matches to Cena and Orton.    Then CM Punk took over Nexus and they became his faceless sidekicks, and then they vanished altogether when Punk moved into his Pipebomb era.  

Then Husky came back as Bray Wyatt, and everyone loved the gimmick.   I never cared for it personally, because I never saw much of Waylon Mercy, and I’ve never watched “Cape Fear”.   But people loved it.   But he kept losing the big matches.   Then he comes back as The Fiend, and now he’s like invincible or something, and it seems like he’s finally on track to get the success people wanted him to have before.  

Only, I don’t think it’s worked out that well.   They made him invincible, but they don’t seem to know what to do with that.    This led to that Hell in a Cell where Seth Rollins got “disqualified” in a no-DQ match.    They literally couldn’t decide how to end the match, or who should win, so they just stopped it for no reason.    That’s a long-term WWE problem.    Vince can’t make up his mind, so he just doesn’t put anyone over.    He didn’t want Seth to look weak losing to the Fiend, even though the Fiend is literally a monster, and he didn’t want the Fiend to win the title because he’d eventually have to lose it later.    Except the Fiend did win the title eventually, only to lose it to a 50 year old Goldberg in Saudi Arabia.   So Vince’s efforts to protect the Fiend at HiaC were ultimately pointless.    

I’m not sure where the Fiend character is now, but I think he may have turned face, and Alexa Bliss is his girlfriend?  Sith Apprentice?    I see people saying she’s possessed?   Well, whatever, I like what she’s done with her hair lately.   Every time they revamp Bray, I always hear fans suggest that they’re finally going to have Sister Abagail debut.    No one even knows who or what Sister Abagail is.    She’s just a name Bray used to mention during his creepy promos, and I think Randy Orton desecrated her grave one time.    Wrestling’s pretty great.  

Here’s the thing, I’m 100% in favor of a real, live SIster Abagail character.   I’ve written a 600,000-word novel about a background character in Dragon Ball Z, and at least thirty chapters were devoted to the Shockmaster.    I remember in 1997, when everyone thought Kane was dead, and then he finally showed up and set everything on fire for the next twenty years straight.    I still want to know who the Black Scoprion really was.   If Sister Abagail turns out to be an on-screen character, it’d be amazing.   Maybe Alexa Bliss is supposed to be turning into Abagail somehow.   She needs to dress up more like a ghost, though.   

The problem is that--right now-- there isn’t a Sister Abagail, so until the real thing is introduced, it’s just a hypothetical that everyone can pin their hopes and dreams on.   “Oh once they pull the trigger on Sister Abagail, Bray will finally get the push he deserves!”   “Yeah, that last Fiend match wasn’t so hot, but it’s all building up to the big payoff when they finally bring out Sister Abagail.”   “Sister Abagail will fix it, she can right the ship.”  

What I’m worried about is that one of these years Bray’s going to retire from wrestling, hopefully on his own terms, but his fans will still be waiting for a dream storyline, long after his actual career has passed them by.   I guess there’s problems with his run, mostly systemic problems with WWE’s booking philosophies and indecision, and fans are praying for a miracle to fix it all, like John Cena in an nWo shirt.   And even if they did bring out a Sister Agagail, it would never live up to the fans’ expectations.    It just feels like everyone’s setting themselves up for a disappointment.  

And that’s one of the reasons why I quit watching WWE.   At some point I realized that there just isn’t going to be a light at the end of the tunnel, a big match that somehow makes up for all of the dumb ideas and bad finishes I’ve seen over the years.    I’m all about AEW and NJPW now, and those promotions aren’t always perfect, but they are a lot better about meeting my expectations.  

I guess, when all is said and done, my big opinion on the Fiend is that I hope Bray lets his WWE contract expire and shows up someplace else.  He’s a great talent, no denying that.   I just don’t trust WWE to do right by him creatively. I think they want to push him, but they don’t know how to push guys anymore.

I had some requested hairs pending, and now after what seems like 874517 years I am finally posting them! 

MYOS mhair14 retextured

First up, an old MYOS hair requested anonymously here. This one gave me a lot of grief: it had a bazillion groups (half of which were completely useless), the texture files were tiny and blurry as heck, and it had some really weird parts that I had no idea what to do with (like those random braid thingies hanging off the sides). I nearly gave up on it, but then @digitalangels saved the day by suggesting that I enlarge the texture files and blank out the groups that aren’t used by the mesh. I also replaced the random braids by equally random dreadlocks in a surge of inspiration. The texture is still far from perfect, despite my best efforts… but this is an old mesh, it’s as good as it gets.

INFO: Retextured in Furbyq’s PookQ textures + Rented-Space’s 3t2 EA and Kijiko dreadlocks. Comes in all of Pooklet’s and Io’s natural colors (Swatch). Grey linked to black, five optional custom greys included.Toddler-Elder. Mesh by Myos included.

Rented-Space’s 3t2 Romantic Style retextured

This one wasn’t requested, but I did it as a back-up option back when I wasn’t sure whether I could finish the Myos hair. Figured I might as well toss it into this post, as a bonus of sorts.

INFO: Retextured with Io’s edit of Pooklet’s textures and in both of their natural color palettes (Swatch). Grey linked to black, five optional custom greys included.Toddler-Elder. Mesh by Rented-Space included.

Raon FH64 dyed - naturals & unnaturals

Another requested hair. I had little to go by with this one (anon only asked for the hair to be ‘dark at the roots and light at the ends’), so I improvised a bit. The dyejob on the hair is inspired by these old retextures by Problematique - I actually had to handpiant the fringe, which is something I've never tried before. Mind you, my retextures don't look 100% like Bosie's, but I'm still happy with how they turned out. There's a handful of natural and unnatural color combos in the download, and I also included the .PSD I made for this purpose, to make further retexturing easier.

INFO: Base texture by Lace. Comes in a total of 20 color combos - 3 binned families and 8 additional custom colors (Swatch). Elders keep their colors, but there's a Mailbomb/Pipebomb combo included in the custom bin that can pass for elder grey. All files are tooltipped, compressorized and clearly named.There's a folder with pictures of each color included in the download, as well as a PSD file. Mesh by Raon included.

The third and final requested hair. Compared to the other ones, this was a breeze - and all thanks to @rented-space, who not only provided a nice base texture which I could use, but also edited the mesh to be for all ages (the original was only for teens and up). 

INFO: Retextured with Pooklet’s v3 textures and in all of Io’s and Pooklet’s naturals (Swatch). Grey linked to black, five optional custom greys included. Toddler-Elder (was previously only for teens, adults and elders). Edited all-ages mesh by Rented-Space included.
